"Hooker & Heat" is a legendary collaboration album between the iconic blues band Canned Heat and the renowned bluesman John Lee Hooker, released in 1971. This CD edition by Beat Goes On Records brings together two generations of blues mastery, resulting in an electrifying fusion of boogie and deep Delta blues. The album features extended jams, soulful vocals, and gritty guitar work that capture the raw energy of both artists at their peak. Standout tracks like "Boogie Chillen' No. 2" and "Whiskey and Wimmen'" showcase Hooker's hypnotic style complemented by Canned Heat's driving rhythm section.
